Yes, there are some weird bits with the facade (bottom left), and seems like they didn't really clean it well since my table is covered with (expensive) dust as soon as these models land and all shared spaces are still half filled with dust...

Metabolist Movement and the Nakagin Tower

The year started by re-briefing an iconic project. I chose the Nakagin Tower by Kisho Kurokawa. The ideas behind the Nakagin Tower are borrowed from the Metabolist Movement. Metebolist Movement was started by Japanese architects and designers for the 1960 World Design Conference.

The architects and designers were all traumatized by the destroyed cities left behind after the WW2. Even though the idea was already part of the Japanese culture, stronger than ever; they believed no material lasts forever therefore our buildings our new cities should be designed in a much more intelligent way.

They believed buildings and cities should be respond to our needs just like the nature of trees in terms of the change they go through during the year. While some parts remain the others can wear out, get replaced just like the leaves do.

Metabolists mainly proposed tower communities for the new cities. This way they would also be able to get around the new limitations for the land ownerships set after the war. They would have artificial lands in the sky that are owned and shared by many. Once a tower is fully occupied, another tower would be built and another community would start. These towers, when they are too old, would be sunken into the sea and become the living space for the fish.

They were questioning the lifespan of the buildings and their inflexibility for change. I thought this is worth to discover in a time like this when large companies dissolve and people are constantly on the move.
